Corporate fitness program

Expert replies

Employees of companies that offer corporate fitness programs consistently take fewer sick-days than do employees of companies that do not offer fitness programs. Thus, corporate fitness programs are shown to have a positive effect on the health of a company’s work force.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?

(a) Other benefits offered by companies that do not offer corporate fitness programs surpass the benefits offered by companies that do offer such programs.

(b) Companies that offer corporate fitness programs attract employees who are more health conscious than the employees of companies that do not offer such programs.

(c) The health benefits of a corporate fitness program depend upon the particular makeup of the program.

(d) Employees who participate in corporate fitness programs are not measurably less healthy than people who exercise on their own.

(e) People who participate in fitness programs not offered by their employees are generally healthier than people who participate in corporate fitness programs.

Conclusion -> Because of fitness programs health of the employees are improving
We need to prove that fitness programs are not the reason of improving health of employees.
B precisely does that by saying that these program attracts only those who are health conscious. What about people whose health is not improving. They still would not join these fitness programs

This is a good one and not to mentioon a tricky one. Ok let's begin.

The conclusion = corporations that offer a fitness program have employees who have better health.

The question asks for a statement that can weaken the arguement.

B--is the appropriate answer because, what if the company's fitness program attracted people who are active and love to exercise. You can have a company with a state of the art fitness center and people who are not fitness minded will never even visit the center. So is it the fitness program or is it the fitness minded employess that promote the health of the work force? Taking this statement into consideration, the arguement falls apart.

A--irrelevant to the topic.

C--irrelevant

D--doesn't make any sense.

E--this is the trap. I had to ponder between this one and B. However, this choice is disputable and it's slightly irrelevant.

B, because if healthy people are in the corporate fitness programs, it's not necessarily the programs which produce the sick leave statistic.

Looking at it now, B makes sense
